Mother—(Proudly), That’s fine. What was it ? Bernice — She asked what our tele¬ phone number is. • • • Mathematics Saiah—I have added these figures up ton times, Mr Srigley. Mr. Srigley—Good girl. Sarah—And here are the ten answers, M r. Srigley. • • Economics Mr. Wood—What is life insurance, Phyllis? Phyllis: It ' s keeping a man poor all his life so he can die rich. • Ethel—(Who is taking piano lessons, to organ grinder), How many hours a day do you have to practice? “I’m sorry to have to do this,” said .Johnny, as he spread jam on the cat’s face but I can’t have mother thinking it’s me.” • “Ike Newton had the dope when he went to school.” “How’s that?” “They say he used to put quicksand in the teacher’s hourglass so as to short¬ en the period.” • Editor—Have you ever read proof?

Pupils who have once entered into these contests are never the same again. Comptometers, Daltons, Burroughs— The men who invented these machines have done more harm than good. Most pupils do not use their brains anyhow, but things have been turning from bad to worse. You can ' t get a pupil to add up a line of figures without a machine. Physiography Teacher—What is Earth ? Pupil—A solid substance much desir¬ ed by the seasick. Dick—My dad is an Elk, a Lion, a Moose and an Eagle. . Mickey—What does it cost to see him ?
